Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The peregrine falcon messenger of Dayi is probably the fastest way to deliver messages in the world at present.

After a temporary truce with the Jin Dynasty, the main force also retreated south. Ren Yuan and others even retreated to the former Liao Dynasty's Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture for temporary rest.

"The Liao Kingdom is finished. If the Western Expeditionary Army succeeds this time and takes back Xijing, brother, then we can consider the entire Liao Kingdom destroyed!"

Xiao Jiasui kept marking points on the map. After the last great battle with the Jin Kingdom, Dayi has now become the dominant force in the north. Once the Western Expeditionary Army successfully completes its mission, they will head south again to wipe out the last remaining forces in the Central Plains.

When the world is unified, a new dynasty is established, and everything will start anew!

"The situation with Zhao Ji is not too bad, and the situation with Fang La is also a minor issue. Next up is Western Xia."

Ren Yuan also stood in front of the map, and he was very satisfied with the current territorial extent shown on the map.

Very good, the Liao Dynasty is almost gone, and the Jin Dynasty can't get here for now. What Jingkang Incident? It's over!

"And the various Tibetan tribes, and the Uyghurs."

Xiao Jiasui then circled the areas of Tibet and Uyghurs again.

"And Dali, the Joseon Dynasty, and the Kingdom of Jinglong."

Xu Guanzhong also temporarily withdrew to rest and recuperate. After all, there was no fighting in the Northeast in the short term, and the Jurchens had lost so many high-end combat forces that they had to lie low for a while.

"Phew~ The conquest is not yet complete, everyone still needs to work harder!"

Ren Yuan let out a long breath. If you look at it that way, he really can't relax yet. If he wants to take over these places smoothly, it will take at least a few more years.

“Brother, these places are still manageable. I suggest that our next target be to take back the former Zhao Song territory, develop it steadily for a year or two, and then deal with these places.”

Xu Guanzhong comforted Ren Yuan, saying that it was already quite remarkable that Liangshan had managed to conquer such a large territory in just a few years, from the very beginning to the present-dayi.

But when it comes to fighting, there has to be a rhythm. You can't just keep charging forward, because that's not sustainable. When necessary, you can slow down and even take a break before continuing.

"Does Guanzhong mean that we should take a break and recuperate after we take back these places?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised; he thought Xu Guanzhong would encourage him to press on.

“Yes, brother, I even think that we can ignore the Western Xia for now. After taking back Dali and these other places, we can rest for a while, and then we can send two groups of people, one heading north to fight the Jurchens and the other heading west.”

Xiao Jiasui also stated that after reunifying the Central Plains, it would indeed be possible to rest for a while.

"After all, the foundation we have for fighting now is what we have built up over the past few years. After the country is re-established, we will also need some foundation to maintain stability."

Ren Yuan's main principle is to listen to advice, especially since this was an opinion put forward by both Xiao Jiahui and Xu Guanzhong.

"Okay, since you two both say so, I'll definitely listen to you."

"But we must make the Jin the number one enemy. As for the Western Xia, Uyghurs, and Tibetan tribes, we can keep them in check for now. They probably won't dare to make the first move."

Just as the three of them were discussing their next plan while looking at the map, a messenger suddenly came quickly, carrying a sealed container.

"Report! Your Highness! Your two strategists! General Guan Sheng, the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army, has sent a message via falcon!"

"Oh? A message delivered by a peregrine falcon? It seems Guan Sheng has accomplished something big."

Ren Yuan raised an eyebrow, then smiled and accepted the sealed tube.

Because of what happened when Guan Sheng went up the mountain, he is now quite cautious in the entire army, especially since Ma Shi under his command has not yet officially received a banner, so he dares not make any mistakes.

In fact, Ren Yuan already had some idea of ​​Ma Shi's banner. The Guan family had a tradition of loyalty and righteousness, and Ma Shi was brave in battle, so Ma Shi was either loyal and brave or righteous and brave.

"Inspector Guan either doesn't release any information, or he releases it as an urgent message. Brother, can you take a look at what he wrote?"

Xiao Jiahui put down his pen, stretched, and thought, "Great, I can rest now. After looking at the map for so long, my old arms and legs can't take it anymore."

"Huh? Good heavens, Guan Sheng, Guan Sheng..."

Ren Yuan opened the sealed tube, took out the letter, and after reading its contents, he was somewhat at a loss for words.

Dalibo actually left behind a child? And a girl at that?

"Brother, what happened?"

Xu Guanzhong seemed somewhat amused and exasperated by Ren Yuan's appearance, and also showed great interest in the contents of Guan Shengwen's article.

"You two take a look. Guan Sheng has picked up a child."

Ren Yuan shook his head slightly, then handed the letter to the two strategists. Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui looked at it together and were also stunned.

Good heavens, the commander-in-chief actually took it upon himself to preserve the enemy's royal bloodline!

Well, of course. She was pregnant, gave birth on the battlefield, and died during childbirth. Guan Sheng's actions were in line with human nature, and there was nothing wrong with them. Moreover, it was very much in line with Guan Sheng's style.

"Luckily, it's a girl."

After reading the contents of the letter, the two shook their heads and nodded in unison.

"Yes, if it were a boy, that would be troublesome. But it's a girl, and her mother is gone, so let her stay."

Hsiao Chia-hui said the girl was fine.

“Brother, this is Wuyan Guang’s child. According to Su Ding and his brothers, Wuyan Guang is currently being imprisoned in the dungeon of Shangjing in the Jin Kingdom and is not dead yet.”

Xu Guanzhong said to Ren Yuan.

"Should we ask Su Ding and his brothers to find a way to tell Wuyan Guang that he has a child?"

"Guanzhong, do you mean to use this child to get Wuyan Guang to work for us?"

Ren Yuan was quick to understand; as soon as Xu Guanzhong spoke, he had already imagined what to do next.

"That's right, brother, you're getting smarter and smarter."

Xiao Jiahui patted Ren Yuan on the shoulder and then continued.

“Since we all know that the Jin Kingdom is our biggest enemy, we have to do something to cause them trouble. Relying on our two brothers, Su Ding and Xie Ning, alone is definitely not enough.”

“But Wuyan Guang is currently in the Jin Kingdom’s dungeon, where there are definitely many people who have grievances against the Jin Kingdom. If he’s willing to help us out and cause some trouble in the dungeon, then… hehehe…”

Xiao Jiahui laughed. Whenever he laughed like that, someone was sure to be in trouble.

"You let him escape from prison?"

Ren Yuan seemed to understand something.

“Brother, Lao Xiao’s intentions go beyond just escaping from prison. He probably plans to have Su Ding and Xie Ning help Wuyan Guang regain his freedom in the dungeon, and then have him lead those people in the dungeon to cause a huge disturbance in the capital!”

"After all, the person who can be with Wuyan Guang is definitely not a simple person. If this causes trouble, the capital of Jin will definitely be in turmoil."

Hsu Kuan-chung helped Hsiao Chia-hui finish the sentence, and Hsiao Chia-hui nodded repeatedly.

Sure enough, Guan Zhong is my other half; he understands me!

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised. Goodness, your idea... is quite interesting! I like it!

“Alright, then let Tianmu inform Su Ding and the others to see if they can persuade Wuyan Guang. You two refine this plan further.”

Ren Yuan immediately finalized the plan.

"Brother, what should we do about this girl?" Brother Guan Sheng was also asking the same question.

Xiao Jiahui asked a question.

"Hmm... I seem to remember, Guan Sheng has a son?"

Ren Yuan scratched his head. Since it's a girl, and Guan Sheng protected her, then let's go all the way and do a good deed.

"There is a newborn child named Guan Ling."

Others might not know this kind of news, but Xiao Jiasui definitely does. If there is a gossip group in Dayi, Xiao Jiasui, even if she is not the group leader, must be a veteran member!

“Alright, tell Guan Sheng that since he’s a good person, let’s go all the way. This girl will be his daughter-in-law…”
